Sharing economy and dynamic pricing: Is the impact of Airbnb on the hotel industry time-dependent?
2021
Abstract Prior literature has reported significant price and revenue reductions in the hotel industry due to the emergence of Airbnb. Other studies have documented that hotels' price reactions to the penetration of Airbnb depend on their service level, e.g., low/medium-end versus high end. Relying on a large sample from the Italian market, we contribute by showing that the effect of Airbnb on hotels' price decisions does not only depend on incumbents’ quality level, but also on the difference between booking and check-in time. That is, the effect of the penetration of Airbnb on hotels' dynamic price decisions varies over time depending on the core segment hotels target.
Application of GPS tracking for monitoring spatially unconstrained outdoor recreational activities in protected areas – A case study of ski touring i…
2018
Abstract New trends in leisure and outdoor recreation show an increased penetration of remote areas and the development of spatially unconstrained outdoor recreational activities. Here we present the application of GPS tracking to monitor a spatially unconstrained recreational activity, using ski touring in the Tatra National Park (TNP) as a study case. Particular focus of the study was the spatial and temporal behaviour of ski tourers with regard to existing management measures implemented in the Park, where recreation is limited to designated zones. The research is based upon empirical data (n = 427 ski touring GPS tracks). ArcGIS and statistics software SPSS were used for spatial and sta…
Attracting Major Sporting Events: The Role of Local Residents
2006
Abstract The decision where to host major sports events is the result of a political process, involving local and national politicians as well as national and international sport governing bodies. Politicians and local/national sport governing bodies decide whether to apply for an event, while international sports governing bodies select the host cities (nations). Local and national residents play an important role in this process as their opinion will influence whether the political system supports the application and is willing to fund the event. Many event impacts have characteristics of public goods and externalities. This represents a potential welfare economic rationale for the public…
Graphical models for estimating network determinants of multi-destination trips in Sicily
2017
Abstract This paper proposes a two-step approach for analysing the main determinants of multi-destination trip behaviour. It is based on a combination of graphical models and of a multinomial logistic regression model; the aim is to analyse direct and indirect effects of a wide set of tourist- and trip-related characteristics on multi-destination trip behaviour. Empirical data have been derived from a frontier survey of approximately 4000 incoming tourists in Sicily (Italy) at the end of their trip. Results suggest that multi-destination trips depend directly on the length of stay, the number of previous visits and motivation for the trip, and only indirectly on the interview month, travel …
Integrated marketing communications and information and communication technology in the hotel sector: An analysis of their use and development in Dal…
2011
The concept of integrated marketing communications (IMC) has been recognized as a key factor in the marketing literature. Boosted by advancements in information and communication technology (ICT), IMC has received considerable attention during the past decade. The purpose of this research is to study in greater detail the IMC and ICT concepts in the tourism sector, specifically in hotels. The empirical study was conducted in 17 high-class hotels in Dalmatia, the largest region on the coast of Croatia. Descriptive statistics analysis showed a high degree of IMC and ICT implementation in Dalmatian first-class and luxury hotels. Moreover, the ICT application increased with the hotel category, …

Los enfermos mentales han recibido cuidados especiales a lo largo de la Historia, en los que han participado activamente personas con funciones de enfermería.En este estudio hemos investigado en dos archivos relevantes, Valencia y Granada y trabajado sobre documentación de cuatro destacados hospitales, con objeto de cono¬cer sus actividades de cuidados de enfermos mentales y la participación de los mismos del personal de enfermería (o personal con funciones equivalentes).Hemos podido observar que desde el siglo XV en Valencia y Zaragoza, siglo XVI en Granada y mucho después (siglo XIX) en Almería, existían hospitales con estructuras especiales para el cuidado de los enfermos mentales y con …
La inmigración en Valencia según las fuentes del Hospital General (1557-1849)
2003
Los registros de ingresos del Hospital General de Valencia se conservan desde mediados del s. XVI. Se ha recogido la información sobre los forasteros en cortes cronológicos realizados cada medio siglo. El trabajo analiza la evolución del origen geográfico, la profesión, la distribución por sexos, edades y estado civil de las muestras así obtenidas. La conclusión es que se pasa de una inmigración de orígenes más diversos, mayoritariamente formada por jóvenes varones solteros, a otra que proviene del propio País Valenciano y de zonas próximas, con un alto porcentaje femenino y en la que aumenta la importancia de los adultos casados.
